About this book
The Settlement of Wage Disputes is by Herbert Feis, then Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Kansas, and was published in New York in 1921. His preface says the book falls into two nearly equal parts: an account of the industrial situation in the United States and of the factors that govern American wage levels, and an attempt to set out principles for a policy of wage settlement.
The text discusses arbitration awards that split the difference, the weight given to cost of living and net profits, wartime demand for certain goods, and negotiation between employers and workmen. One passage says the wages of groups at the bottom of the industrial scale should follow the living wage principle, and that higher existing rates should ordinarily not be lowered to a standard level.
